The Elephant Garlic.

As well as our venison sausages, the farmers market also provided us with THE BIGGEST CLOVE OF GARLIC I'VE EVER SEEN. A whole 60p bought me one clove of elephant garlic from the Isle of Wight.

Fancy food for a fancy clove of garlic. Lemon and garlic baked chicken on gnocchi with leeks and cheese. Odd? Well yes. But good.

The chicken thighs were baked with a quartered lemon, the whole MASSIVE garlic clove, S&P and olive oil.

Cook sliced leeks and two (normal sized) garlic cloves with a little olive oil and a splash of water until soft. When the chicken is pretty much cooked (juices running clear), boil the gnocchi for 2 mins (they will float to the top of the water) and mix with the soft leeks and (optional) strong cheese of your choice. Season to taste and serve.

Ok so it was quite garlicky.

Actually very garlicky.

Which was fine for me but poor Dr W did struggle a bit with the garlic burn so omit the garlic from the leeks if you think it might be too much for you. Chicken.
